The JDM Appreciation Thread...

[superbenji88]

With the NSX successor officially cancelled, Honda tapped long-time motorsports partner Mugen to create a one-off coupe to commemorate the everyday supercar that ended production in 2005. The Mugen NSX RR is stretched to 177.95 inches (almost four inches more than the ‘94-05 model), and widened by 5.5 inches and features a combination of carbon fiber and aluminum body panels. In addition to a set of upgrade brakes, GT-style body kit, wing, hood-scoop and diffusers, the 3.0-liter V6 has been swapped out in favor of a supercharged 2.4-liter V6 mated to a revised six-speed manual gearbox. Mugen hasn’t released any power figures, but informed speculation pegs output between 350 and 380 hp.

BYS front bumper...

:approve:

Reckon I could afford to buy and insure that Chris?
I would if I could.

 

[MaLicE]

dunno what it is about that nsx but i just dont like it and i normally LOVE nsx's the front seems really rounded and really wide, the back seems angular and narrower than the front

i like pauls 200... though the bottom blob looks weird from certain angles...

 

[Mark One]

the chamber on those cars in pg 98

WOW

 

[Christopher]

Reckon I could afford to buy and insure that Chris?
I would if I could.

When i was insured one the one i was going to collect, it was almost double what i pay for the 182.

I have five years NCB too. lol

thats insane!!! how much was it and how much you pay on your 182?

im 23 3yrs ncb and the rex is 700 fully comp with an agreed value and like for like replacement! with a 200 quid excess! also all mods declared with future mods also taken in to account!

 

[Christopher]

It was £1140 for the EK9, IIRC... lol I pay just over £600 for my 182.

DC5 is another £200 ish on top.

Both with A-Plan

This was the one i had a deposit on... kind of makes me sick now

why didnt you get it?? i was in bristol the otherweek, well just outside and just came off the m5 and was sat at some lights, to my left a jdm dc2 pulled up then to my right ek9 type r pulled up, i got excited my ex didnt find it as entertaining lol!

have to say anyone i have seen driving any ek9 they always look TINY inside... i bet it was a nightmare for you lol!

Dam son, thats nursing a semi time. Especially in the RX7.

 

[Christopher]

Yep! Super-high window line!

Bad for me! As with the DC5... in fact, even worse with the DC5! lol

Didn't get it due to a few things... mainly the money involved to change to a car that still needed a lot of work doing. It was a private import. Only had the SVA. Needed alarming, undersealing, converting to mph... etc etc. It'd have cost me almost £1,500 plus my 182 sale. For a car worth only 500 more than my 182, and 12 years old. lol

Just didn't add up in the end.

DC5 will soon ease the pain, mind. Even if i do need a f*cking cushion or two

My lady called me a geek when i almost changed lanes looking at SILEIGHTY in Manchester the other week. Genuine one, too... mintness.

 

[Remedi]

them... in japan there is a car gang, bozo... anyway they hang them from their rear bumpers after they have stolen them from subway trains to show rebellion... its just a fashion thing lol...

JDM Fads FTW!

 

[MaLicE]

i do like the ek9 and the dc5, also been in a supercharged dc2 not long ago and i have to say if i had to go fwd i would love one lol!

think i have sorted out a induction kit which i think im gonna go get tomorrow, its an hks twin mushroom, not ideal, but will free up power and they look cool...

 

[Christopher]

I've been in an EP3 with the Jackson low-pressure 'charger and that was scary enough! lol

What colour mushrooms? Green?

 

[MaLicE]

yes green ones, but new elements are dead cheap...

 

[couzens]

BYS front bumper...

:approve:

i thought u mite like it

 

[PYE21]

 

[kpowell911]

what cars that with the completely flat underbody?

 

[Christopher]

AP1 S2000

 

[Barron]

saw this on another forum....
ek9 stolen in N-Ireland

6 days after it was reported stolen it was found...

 

[Guppy]

^ Fail.

Would cry if that was mine

 

[couzens]

s**t! bet they made a bomb on it tho. looks like everything was sold on it!

 

[Christopher]

I nearly went to view that! I emailed the fella a few times, i have a fair few pics of it on my hotmail!

Totally gutting. I think i saw a thread about that on EK9.org

 

[couzens]

just been looking at some BYS products if i get a ek4 £80 for clear indicators :O, i think paying 1k for the front bumper is do able it is sexual afterall

 

[Christopher]

Indeedy. You pay for the tyteness y0.

Mugen CF lip is mint for the lower EK Civics... cheaper too. You could source an EK9 bumper, skirts and grille.

BYS parts are awesome in the way that only JDM parts can be. Have a look at their rear spoiler for the EG/EK. Looks like a f*cking air-brake... but still very cool, somehow.

 

[couzens]

yeah just been looking at it £991 lol, worth it imo tho! think ill go with the ek4 as i know ill get raped on insurance for ek9, think ill be coming to you for my styling tips lol, now is it only drifters that are alowed subway handles?

 

[Christopher]

Aye, technically it's a Boso/Drift thing...

 

[couzens]

damit, i thought it looked cool

 

[Christopher]

LOL

You'd get away with it on a standard EK4, for a few days. Until some tytelord off DriftWorks saw you in traffic. I'm pretty sure he'd get out and chase you down the road, throwing (genuine) shuriken at you.

 

[MaLicE]

im sure if you had one on an ek9 no one would worry to much, but good luck finding one, i been loving off jdm stuff for years and this is the first time i seen one for sale... it turned up today!

 

[Christopher]

Pics?

There's a fella on DW, who sold some UKDM ones that he nicked in London a while back. LOL

EDIT: Found it.

 

[Revels]

im sure if you had one on an ek9 no one would worry to much, but good luck finding one, i been loving off jdm stuff for years and this is the first time i seen one for sale... it turned up today!

How much did you pay for it?

 

[couzens]

wasnt thinking of one on the bumper, maybe interior grap handles? think that would look pretty sweet

 

[Christopher]

LOL

Domakun air freshener, some random tyte cup holders and a Wakaba on your dashboard top.

Wakaba's have gotton more and more common though

 

[Turkish]

Flare, it's got to have a flare too.
